you accomplish what many did not, a formal portrait, for that detail you get a 9. the captured moment and facial expression bumps it to a 10. congratulations!

Great job posing your subject (or maybe he did this on his own). I don't care for the vignette -- not sure it's needed. But that quibble aside, it's quite an animated portrait.

Originally posted by MrChevy: Hello, An interesting photo. What grabbed my attention were their SHADOWS. I notice the cow on the left has a shadow as if the Sun were to her/his left. The middle cow's shadow appears as if the Sun were to her/his southwest. And the cow on the right has a shadow that appears as if the Sun was just about due south of her/him and her/his shadow followed the curve of her/his belly instead of being straight like her/his back is. The shadows probably should all be facing the same direction. Notice the middle cow's shadow starts at her/his front leg but the cow on the right has the shadow start at her/his back leg. Just look at each one and think where the Sun would have to be in the sky to make the shadow be where it is in the photo. Congratulations on the ribbon. You have some nice photos. And congratulations to Stefania and yourself on being married 22 years as of last month... I think I read that it was 20 years in a two year old post. Regards, Ken Chevy 070810 0519

Hello Chevy

Yes I can see what you mean about the shadow, the sun was of course coming fram one direction but I think it looks like this because I took this picture near the ground which is very uneven.

And thanks for the good whishes and you are right, me and my wife Stefania have been happily merried now for 22 years.
